Brevard College will offer a variety of new CreekSide education classes for the community for the upcoming spring semester.

Community members may choose from more than 40 courses, including Zumba Fitness, Basic Yoga, Spanish for Travelers, French for Travelers, Fundamentals of Drawing, and Beginning Guitar.

The popular “Rejuvenate Your Retirement” workshop will be offered again, as will Margaret Hunt’s Trusts and Estates Planning and Administration workshop.

One of Brevard College’s assistant soccer coaches will teach young players basic skills in Soccer After School. The college is also partnering with community businesses for such offerings as Brevard Ballet School’s Adult Ballet and Conditioning, and The Hub’s Complete Bicycle Maintenance Workshop.

For a look inside Transylvania County, the college will offer history courses covering the Cherokee Indians as well the development of Brevard and Rosman. A naturalist walk will be available to help identify some of the county’s local plants and insects. Those interested in the naturalist walk course might consider taking Beginner’s Digital Photography to catalog their discoveries.

Other highlights from the spring CreekSide catalog include a cob oven-building workshop using natural materials, an Argentine Tango dance class, a Jazz History series taught by local musician and BC professor Jason DeCristofaro, and various health, wellness and self-improvement classes to help kick off the new year.

The popular Great Decisions lecture series will also return to Brevard College this spring. Sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association, topics will cover China’s Foreign Policy, Turkey, Israel, Economic Statecraft and Trade, Defense and the Rise of New Technologies, Food Security, and Climate Change.

For phone or e-mail registration, program information, or additional details about the Great Decisions lecture series, including the registration timeline for the series, contact Brevard College’s Office of Community Education at 828-884-8251 or creekside@brevard.edu.
